Notes
- Pack the jars well: By making sure it’s packed in tightly, the ingredients are less likely to float up out of the liquid.
- Experiment with flavors: There are plenty of herbs and seasonings (plus sugar) you can play around with for sweet pickled green tomatoes, spicy pickled green tomatoes, and aromatic in-betweens, so have fun experimenting. Make a note of what you use in each new batch to re-create your favorite combinations.
- Reuse the pickling liquid: It’s perfectly safe to reuse the liquid from pickling green tomatoes. Just strain it, re-boil the liquid and use it once more.
